Going back reading as much as I can take in at one time, and I seem to be going back a long time now, I have just discovered this thread. Does this chat/chatroom feature still exist? I do not "do" Facebook so have no idea what that does, but it might be interesting if there was such a thing here - BUT - if it means taking people away from for forum - which seems to be happening everywhere these days, I would not be in favour of it.
The thing is that people chat on FB and those people will chat wherever they want, so if there is a chat room here they will not be posting, to the detriment of the forum.
